S2E10 - w/ Victoria Showumni: Black Girls and Well-Being in Schools

In today’s episode, we tackle two important topics – racism and well-being. I am joined by Dr. Victoria Showunmi, Associate Professor at University College London (UCL). Victoria has been doing research on the intersection of black girls (and women) and well-being. We are well aware of the global mental health crisis in youth – Victoria helps us learn more about one marginalized group within the broader population. The findings from her research point to strategies educators can and should be using in our classrooms and schools – strategies that will make a difference for black girls and others as well.
